Contemporaneous records do not drift; reconstructed ones do, and the drift is systematic rather than random because memory smooths.

Reference intervals are typically the central 95% of a reference population. By construction one person in twenty falls outside one on any given test without anything being wrong.

This. A bad fortnight after a step is expected. A bad quarter is a reason to talk to somebody who knows your history.

Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience more than anything else.

area percent is relative to what the detector saw and nothing else

the trend line matters more than any single value

Area percent is the integrated area of your peak over the total integrated area at one wavelength on one gradient. Change any of those and the number changes without the sample changing.

Disagree. Inter-lab spread of a point or two on this assay is ordinary and calling it a discrepancy misleads people.

eating slower does more than most of the supplements people recommend

Adding to this — holding the dose rather than stepping is the option people forget they have.

Careful — posting a log as a schedule for other people to follow is not what this board is for.

Careful — that is a question for whoever ordered the panel, and nobody in this thread can answer it responsibly.

How old is the column and roughly how many injections has it seen?

nobody warns you about how much of this is timing rather than dose

Is the concentration recorded anywhere in the log?

Has anything else changed in the same window?

Yes — the day-two-to-day-four window is so consistent across this board that it is almost diagnostic.

a rough fortnight at each step is normal, a rough three months is not

How long after a step up did this start?

Has anything else changed in the same window?

A symptom that begins the day after the shot and fades by day four tracks the exposure curve.

iman_falk is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.

That figure cannot be quoted to two decimals off that baseline. The precision is not in the data.

The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.
